Cyclofemme 2014

CycloFemme is a socially-driven grass-roots celebration of women on bikes. We are of a growing community, for a growing community, and 100% volunteer-based.

Join us for the 2014 edition of Madison CycloFemme. We invite all female identified individuals to participate in a fun and social bike ride. Any and all riding abilities are welcome! This ride is a no drop ride, no rider will be left behind.

Our route will take us around the landmark Lake Monona here in beautiful Madison, Wisconsin. The route is a mix of bike paths and marked bike routes on road. The route does have a few small climbs, but nothing that a beginning rider couldn’t handle. We would rate this route in the easy category.

The ride starts and ends on Madison’s near east side. We’ll provide some event bike parking, have some limited tools on hand as well as a couple of bike pumps if you need to air up your tires.
Items we recommend bringing:
-Helmet (required for all riders)
-Waterbottle
-Patch kit and/or tube
-Tire Levers
-A wallet or ID
-Lock (If you want to secure your bike while parked. We’ll plan on having someone staffed to watch over parked bikes during the after ride gathering)
-Phone
-Some cash for food/beverages

The ride itself is FREE, but we will have some food available for purchase from a local caterer.
Post ride festivities will also include some spa product demos, discounted salon services, massage, raffles, and more! We’ll be joined by Madison’s Luna Chix cycling club as well as some representatives from the Wisconsin Bicycle Federation.
